WELCOME The Entertainment Dream of 2014
Minnesota’s BIGGEST county fair, the Steele County Free Fair opens August 12 and runs through August 17 in Owatonna, Minnesota. There will be over 7,000 exhibits including 200 animals and over 100 food stands. There are over 500 commercial displays of which over 300 are indoors. Gold Star Amusements will provide a spectacular midway again this year bringing in 40 rides. Admission to the fair is free and there will be plenty of free entertainment for all ages. Look for musical entertainment on the United Prairie Bank Stage in Fair Square Park, the KRFO Stage and the Village of Yesteryear Stage. Come and relax as singers, dancers and bands representing every musical taste perform. The fair Beer Garden is featuring a slate of bands that will provide great entertainment for fairgoers. Bands being featured this year include Lost Highway (Tuesday evening), Johnny Holm (Wednesday evening), Westside (Thursday evening), Jivin’ Ivan (Friday afternoon)), Good for Gary (Friday evening), Led Penny (Saturday afternoon), Smokescreen (Saturday evening), Dan Stursa (Sunday afternoon), and Church of Cash (Sunday evening). David Smith Jr., the Human Cannonball, is returning to the SCFF this year. Sponsored by the Minnesota State Lottery, David will again be fired over one of the Gold Star Midway rides. His shots will take place twice daily. Dazzling Dave, YoYo Man, will delight fairgoers as he strolls around the fairgrounds. His amazing tricks with YoYos will keep fairgoers wide-eyed. Dave will also give several stage performances daily as well. A new feature at the fair will be the “Thank a Farmer” magic show with Joyce and Rhonda Ross. Joyce is using her education and entertainment skills in promoting agriculture and our farmers and ranchers. Joyce will present several shows daily including several shows on the KRFO stage and in the 4-H building. The “Old Iron Show” located near the Village of Yesteryear is again brought to fairgoers by the Gandy Company in Owatonna. Stop by and view close-up tractors and machinery of yesteryear. A full week of grandstand entertainment is scheduled at this year’s fair.l Tuesday night, Bull Riding takes center stage. Wednesday it’s a free show as the Battle of the Bands has moved to the grandstand. Thursday will feature “Hairball” in concert, Friday the tractor-truck pull, Saturday is the
Enduro race and the week winds up with the ever popular Demolition Derby Sunday afternoon. There will also be an antique tractor pull on Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. There will be two Kid’s Days on Wednesday and Friday. A free show for kids will be held both Wednesday and Friday mornings at 11:00 a.m. in Fair Square Park. Wednesday’s show, sponsored by Dr. Beth Gilthvedt and Horizon Eyecare will feature Dave Schulte. YoYou Man, Friday’s show will be fair friend Ronald McDonald, sponsored by McDonald’s and Wal-Mart. Following the Ronald McDonald Show, kids can get up close to fascinating amphibians brought to the stage by Rad Zoo in Owatonna. There will also be special reduced prices for kids on the midway both days. There will be daily ride specials on the Gold star Midway. The popular Mega-Ride tickets will be available prior to the fair which entitle the holder to unlimited midway rides all during fair week. Mega-Ride tickets will sell for $49.00 and must be purchased by 5:00 p.m. on August 12. They are only available at Hy-Vee Foods in Owatonna and will go on sale July 15. Inductees into the Steele County Livestock Hall of Fame and the Equine Hall of Fame will be recognized in the show arena Tuesday afternoon. After 64 years playing his concertina at the fair, Luverne Wanous has retired. A special tribute to Luverne will take place on Saturday, Old Time Day, in Fair Square Park at 11:15 a.m. Check the fair website at www.scff.org for complete schedules of events and for entry forms for fair competitions.

Steele County Free Fair
2014
EXHIBITOR ENTRIES The Steele County Free Fair is requesting that all exhibitors pre-enter their exhibits. The fair uses a computer system to tabulate results and write checks. Use of the computer requires pre-entry. Please use the entry form in the fair book or request forms from the fair office. You can choose to do entries on-line. This option allows you to submit your entries electronically or you may print out the form and send it to your Superintendent. This fair book is also on the web site www.scff.org. You do not have to bring every entry you pre-entered. Check your department's rules and entry deadlines found in the fair book. If your department does not have a deadline, please have your entry to your superintendent, or electronically submitted to the fair office by August 1. All exhibits are to be left in place until your department's rules allow the exhibit to be released. Only under extreme circumstances and then only with your superintendent's approval can an exhibit be released early. Failure to comply with these rules will result in forfeiture of any premium money earned. One of the main reasons many come to the fair is to see the exhibits. Empty exhibit areas discourage visitors from coming to our fair for a return visit. Attention livestock exhibitors: Look for information on parking and other aspects of the livestock shows by looking carefully at your department’s entry information. With the addition of the new livestock pavilion, parking will change this year. Only vehicles with PURPLE passes will be allowed to enter and possibly park on the north road (Livestock Lane SE). Keep in mind that the purple
passes are for livestock exhibitors to unload feed and supplies for their exhibits. They are not meant as parking passes. There simply is not enough room on the north road to park all livestock exhibitors. Only purple passes will be allowed to park on the north side the barns. They must be displayed in the windshield area of the vehicle. YELLOW parking permits will not allow you to park on the north road. NO PARKING WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE NORTH SIDE (southside of Livestock Lane) OF THE ROUND ROOF SWINE BARN. With added trailer traffic connected with the new Radel Pavilion, we need the space to turn larger livestock trailers and semitrailers on to the city street. Diamond 4 has been designated for livestock exhibitors parking. You will need to display your Purple livestock pass with either the Yellow 4H pass or PINK weekly SCFF parking pass to park on Diamond 4. Open class exhibitors should contact their superintendent for parking permits when you get to the fair. Remember the Village of Yesteryear gate is only used as an exit for livestock exhibitors as they move livestock to and from the fair. Parking on the north side of the Radel Pavilion is prohibited. This area is needed to unload stock horse show equipment and for moving livestock in and out of the barns. Please obey the signs we put up as we try to manage parking, traffic, and people flow. Remembering others and their needs as well as your own will make this a safe and enjoyable fair for all.
ONLINE ENTRIES Again this year, you will be able to enter your various exhibits on line. No need to send them or bring them to the fair office. You simply go the fair’s web site www.scff. org and select the link for on-line entries. You will then create an account by entering your e-mail address and selecting a password as you would with other on-line
services. Fill out your entries by using the correct class and lot on the screens provided. When you are done you can pay any stalling fees or other purchases you might make with your credit card. Submit the information and you are done. Try this service, I think you will like it.
LIVESTOCK AND HORSE EXHIBITORS Livestock trailers can be parked on diamond 4, by the right field foul line. They can also be parked on the Jostens lot, south of the fairgrounds. This lot can be accessed by going South on Hartle Avenue approximately 1 block. Hartle Avenue is straight south of the race track. Back the trailers on to the grass but leave your rear tires
on the blacktop so the trailers can easily be pulled out without cutting up the grass in case of rain. Because this space is donated for use during fair week, please leave this lot free of manure and debris when you leave.

Swine Health Recommendations: Exhibitors of All Pigs Going to Exhibits or Sales
With the animals being commingled at an exhibition, show or sale, spreading disease is a risk. The recommendations listed apply to all swine at an exhibit or sale that are physically on the premise. Having a plan in place to identify and handle sick animals properly will help reduce the chance of disease spread.
In Preparation for the exhibit or sale: Consult a veterinarian to understand and implement applicable biosecurity and swine health practices; keep the veterinarian’s phone number in our barn with your pig’s papers and if possible, in your cell phone. Have a premises identification number for your farm or where the pig(s) are housed (required for PQA Plus® certification or state equivalent). Utilize an individual, readable identification method for each pig: • Individual identification helps accurately and quickly identify a pig in the event of a health issue, validation of ownership or for other exhibit needs; papers can get lost or misplaced, but individual identification will remain with the pig. • Refer to the exhibit organizers and the State Veterinarian for specific requirements for individual animal identification. Become familiar with the clinical signs of a sick pig (such as fever, off-feed, lethargy, nasal discharge, cough, “thumping” or hard time breathing, and diarrhea). • Normal rectal temperature of a pig = 101.5° - 102.5° F • Pigs can’t sweat, they need help staying cool on hot days. • During hot weater a pig’s temperature may be elevated. • If its temperature is reaised, allow the pig to cool off and re-take the temperature in 15 minutes. • Work with your veterinarian if your pig becomes sick. How do I take my pig’s temperature? 1. Restrain your pig to avoid injury to you or the pig 2. Use a thermometer to measure temperature a. Digital - insert into the rectum; push the button and wait for the beep; read temperature b. Mercury - shake down the thermometer so the red line is not showing; insert into the rectum of the pig and wait 30 seconds before reading the temperature c. Laser - point the laser at the space on the skin behind the ear and read temperature NOTE: Laser thermometer may not be as accurate as rectal thermometer Some diseases can transmit from humans to pigs and from pigs to humans, so it is important to not go to the exhibition or show if you or your pig is sick. Make sure that you have all of your equipment, including your show box and its contents, clean, disinfected and ready to go prior to the exhibition. Do not share any equipment with other exhibitors once at the exhibit.
Fill out the appropriate paperwork for the exhibition including health certificates. For your pig’s health certificate, you will need to provide the following information: • Your name, contact information and farm address • Individual pig identification and physical description for each animal going to the exhibit or sale • If exhibiting in a state other than where you live, have your veterinarian check with the state you are exhibiting in for specific requirements. • Include information for exhibit-specific requirements • If requested, list any current vaccines the pig has received (i.e. influenza or PRRS) and current disease testing (i.e. PRRS, PRV) At the exhibition or sale: • Assess your pigs’ health on a daily basis • Report any swine health issues to the exhibit organizer (i.e swine superintendent) or show veterinarian so they can assess the pig in question. • Ask the exhibition organizer about any specific actions that may be required if a pig becomes sick at the show. • Keep your area clean and free of manure contamination • Do not share equipment with other exhibition • Do not bring your pets (cats or dogs) to the exhibit Once you get home: When pigs from different forms are brought to an exhibit or sale and commingled with other pigs of a different health status, the risk of catching a disease can be high. Just like people can spread illness to each other when gathered in a group, pigs from many locations in an exhibit can also spread illness to each other. Therefore, when you bring your pig back home from an exhibit or sale, it is best to place them in isolation. Isolate returning pigs from the other pigs at your farm. • Work with your veterinarian for an isolation plan. The isolation/observation period before returning to contact with other pigs should be no fewer than 7-30 days in order to detect an illness. • Consult a veterinarian if your pig becomes ill. • Clean and disinfect equipment, clothing, shoes, show box and contents, and vehicles/trailers that were used at the exhibition. Clean-up can be as simple as washing, disinfecting and allowing your equipment to dry out in the sun Clean and dry equipment will help to prevent the spread of pathogens

DEPT. C - SWINE Recommendations for isolation: (If you have other pigs at your farm)
• Isolation will allow for time for pigs to be observed for disease after they return from an exhibition or sale. When pigs are in isolation, additional testing can be complete to check for diseases before pigs are added back to the rest of the farm (e.g. PRRS). Check with your veterinarian for testing recommendations. • Have a designated area away from other pigs that have not been to a show. • Do chores for the pigs in he isolation area as the last task of the day after you have already worked with your other pigs. • Have dedicated boots and coveralls for isolation only. Another option to use disposable coveralls and plastic boots for use in isolation and then thrown away when done in isolation. • Have a separate trash can for use in isolation only. • Supplies such as buckets and feed pans should not be shared between pigs in isolation and other animals. • All equipment should be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and allowed to dry after use in the isolation area.
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) - What Is It?
Background: • PEDV is caused by a virus (Coronavirus) that is related to transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus. • PEDV only infects pigs (NOT humans or other livestock). • This is a new virus to the U.S. and was first confirmed in the country on May 17, 2013. Clinical Signs: • In previously naive herds, PEDV is similar to TGE and includes: • Severe diarrhea in pigs of all ages • Vomiting • High mortality - almost 100% in preweaned pigs Diagnosis: Requires sample submissions to a diagnostic laboratory (contact your veterinarian) Transmission: Oral contact with contaminated feces. The most common sources of infected feces are pigs, trucks, boots, clothing or other fomites. Incubation Period: (time from exposure to clinical signs) Only 12-24 hours.
Treatment: Supportive care through hydration. Provide clean, dry, draft free environment with access to high quality drinking water (electrolytes may be beneficial). Prevention: Limit cross contamination with any suspected pigs’ feces. • Clearly define and communicate a Line of Separation which marks the separation between your facility, transport vehicles or the outside/inside of your production site. • Contact your veterinarian and enhance biosecurity procedures. • Biosecurity of transportation vehicles is important; they should be clean, disinfected and dry. • Several disinfectants have been demonstrated to effectively inactivate PEDV, such as formalin, sodium carbonate, lipid solvents, and strong iodophors in phosphoric acid. • Replacement breeding stock should originate from a negative herd. Challenges to Industry: Infection with PED can create tremendous financial losses to a pork producer.
Shedding: (amount of time animals can infect others) Up to 3 to 4 weeks. Immunity/Protection: • No cross-protection with between TGE and PEDV even though both are Coronaviruses. • Maternal protection through colostrum from previously exposed sows can be quite effective. • No protection is long lasting (herds can re-break). • Vaccine studies are in progress.
For more information on biosecurity and PED: pork.org or contact a veterinarian
Diseases like to hitch a ride, separate yourself from cross-contamination!
The organisms that cause disease in pigs (bacteria, viruses and parasites) can survive in different types of materials. Organic matter (shavings, manure) or water, mud or snow can carry diseases on boots, clothing, tires, undercarriages, trailers, shovels, winter panels, sorting panels and people can infect healthy pigs. Other activities, such as walking into a contaminated barn or packing plant can increase risk for disease spread because boots and trailers can become contaminated with diseases the farms you serve are trying to keep out. Assume every site you touch is a risk. Do not be responsible for transferring this disease.

Stock and articles must be entered in the name of the bona fide owners, and grain, vegetables, fruit, dairy products and domestic manufactures must have been raised or made by exhibitors thereof during the past year. Every article in competition must correspond in number and description with the premium list and be in its proper class, in order to obtain premiums. No change or alteration will be permitted after the books are placed in the hands of the judges. Each entry tag shall be securely attached to the entry itself, or the stall, pen or receptacle in which it is shown. All entries are to remain on exhibit until 8:00 p.m., Sunday, the closing day of the fair unless noted differently in department rules. The association will take every precaution in its power for the preservation of articles and stock on exhibition, but cannot be responsible for any loss or damage that may occur in the delivery, exhibition or removal of the exhibits. The awards on entries shall be designated by ribbons or cards as follows: First premium - blue; second premium - red; third premium - white or green; fourth premium - yellow; fifth or commended - pink; sweepstakes - purple. The superintendent of the department or some other persons appointed shall assist the awarding committee as clerk and shall keep a record of the awards made. This record, when completed, will be returned to the secretary. All awards shall be made by comparison of the individual merits of the entries. Any interference by exhibitors to influence or dictate the decisions of the judges will be sufficient cause for excluding his or her entry from competition, and should be reported to the secretary through the superintendent of the division. No appeal from the decision of the awarding committee shall be allowed. An exhibitor may make a protest to the superintendent of the department at the time of the award, who may then require the judge to give reasons for such placing. Premiums will not be awarded on articles or animals of inferior merit regardless of the number in competition for a premium. The judge may award no premium, second, or first premium as merit may warrant. Exhibition of articles not competing for premiums must be arranged for at the secretary's office and will be arranged as far as possible in conformity with the wishes of the exhibitor. Where a sum of premium money is to be paid out pro-rata the apportionment shall be according to the merits of the individual exhibits. Special premiums may be offered by interested persons for entries which conform to the general classification of the fair association.
If the fair receipts prove insufficient to meet all demands, the society reserves the right to first pay all bonafide expenses of the fair and pay premiums with the balance on hand. No person will be permitted to distribute advertising matter on the grounds except from their place of business or exhibit. The tacking or posting of any advertisements, bills, cards, etc., other than within the space occupied by exhibitors, is strictly prohibited. The distribution of hand bills, flyers, heralds, etc., will not be permitted unless permission is granted by management. Anyone violating these rules will be liable to fine or expulsion from the grounds, as the board may elect. No person or group of persons shall banner, picket, march, protest, demonstrate or caucus on the Steele County Fairgrounds before or during the country fair in any manner that interferes with the convenience and safety of any Steele County Fair exhibitor or employee. Nothing in the policy prohibits any group or individual from purchasing a booth in accordance with Steele County Free Fair policy, as long as the manner in which the booth is operated and the materials open for public display are no indecent and do not interfere with the convenience and safety of any fair patron, exhibitor or employee. The management will consider it a kindness if persons will report any mistreatment or extortion practiced by any employee or vendor at the fair. They also ask for immediate information regarding any questionable or demoralizing privilege. Do not wait until the fair is over to make complaint; report it immediately. It is the aim of the management to have a moral, clean fair, which will commend the support of the entire community. No pets are allowed on fairgrounds other than service animals.
